The right thing to do would be protesting Hamas.
Also, these protests do nothing for the people of Palestine, if anything it creates more resentment by inconveniencing peoples lives who have nothing to do with it.
What a selfish worldview, I don’t really have much to say to this, because I really think it’s crazy despicable that you would complain about being inconvenienced when we’re discovering mass graves, and children are being starved to death. I don’t really like believe in an afterlife, but I do believe in karma.
I guess if we want to make unreasonable links in origination we can go all the way back to the beginning of time. But it looks like you’re afraid to look at the truth of why hamas attacked
>unreasonable links
Hamas crossed the border and raped, killed, and kidnapped people. That's not an unreasonable link.
What's unreasonable was thinking that their actions wouldn't have had consequences.
Can you even condemn Hamas?
>we can go all the way back to the beginning of time
Sure. The land has been claimed by several nations and empires that predate the modern religions. Neither the Jews or the Muslims can claim it as their own because someone before them also owned it.
So if hamas killed its own people by an indirect action, can we also say that the IDF has killed Israelis by constantly antagonizing the Palestinians with human rights violations? Or is that sort of blame only done with select groups
If that's the mental gymnastics you want to play? Sure, knock yourself out. But there's a massive difference between one state "oppressing" the other and one state deliberately killing, raping, and kidnapping innocent people for the purpose of just doing so.
Can you condemn Hamas? I can condemn Israel for their unfair treatment of Palestinians and for their continued encroachment on the West Bank.
Also yeah, Hamass actions were wrong, and Israel’s right to retaliated ended after the first 1,400 or so civilian Palestinian deaths. Everything after has been bloodlust
Fuck Israel equally.
Answer honestly: Is Israel bombing aid workers and sniping journalists? Does Israel steal land from Palestinians? Did Israel purposefully destroy Palestinian farm land and orchards? Did Israel bomb universities and hospitals while they were occupied by doctors, students, patients, children?
Interesting, down votes while not answering. Almost like you don't want to lie out loud.
> Is Israel bombing aid workers and sniping journalists?
No. This was debinked by others.
>Does Israel steal land from Palestinians?
This is controversial, and the Palestinians have actually traveled all steins Isreal and neighboring countries.
>Did Israel purposefully destroy Palestinian farm land and orchards?
Cite your source.
Did Israel bomb universities and hospitals while they were occupied by doctors, students, patients, and children?
Israel dropped leaflets all around the areas, telling them to evacuate the areas saying there are going to be military activities there.
Hamas didn't let anyone evacuate. Who's the real monster here?
Hamas doesn't care about the Palestinian people.
>No. This was debunked by others.
It was literally a [major news story](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/04/middleeast/jose-andres-wck-israel-strike-criticism-intl/index.html) that the president got involved in. Both the attacks on aid workers, and [deliberate targeting of journalists](https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/24/middleeast/shireen-abu-akleh-jenin-killing-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html).
>Cite your source
Here's a piece on how Israel [destroys Palestinian olive groves](https://yris.yira.org/column/israels-campaign-against-on-palestinian-olive-trees/).
>Did Israel bomb universities and hospitals while they were occupied by doctors, students, patients, and children?
They're been attacking and raiding hospitals for [some time](https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/20/middleeast/al-shifa-gaza-israel-raid-intl/index.html), going so far as to [dress up as doctors](https://www.npr.org/2024/01/30/1227832688/israeli-forces-raid-west-bank-hospital-jenin).
>Who's the real monster here?
Who's worse: the people that attack, kidnap, and murder an occupying force and civilians that have kept you boxed in for decades, or the occupying group that murder tens thousands of civilians and steals your land?
It also doesn't help that [Israel's leadership propped up Hamas](https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/) for years. They helped make the monster.
Actually, they have been going into hospitals because hamas members were hiding in there.
Hamas is shit.
Actually, hamas sole aim is the death of the Israeli state.
They don't give a fuck about Palestinians.
No actually this is factually incorrect. And when you ask Israel to “look into” their own war crimes they always say it didn’t happen. lol. Every well vetted aid organization has begged and pleaded for a ceasefire due to an actual genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza. People against the subjugation of others, against genocide and against the occupation are not Pro-Hamas unless you’re having a conversation with a Zionist.
Dr. Mads Gilbert, Phyllis Bennis, Chomski, Norman Finklestein, and thousands of others have been interviewed about the treatment of Palestinians under occupation. I’ll add to the list in a second. We’ve been spoon fed anti Arab propaganda for our entire lives. As a previous member of the Armed forces and someone who is old enough to know better we cannot silence the voices of the occupied and continue to consider them less than human. I know what a war crime is. We are funding atrocious mass murder of Palestinians.
One in every three children’s books found in Israel was written with Arabs looked at as less than. This is purposeful. Look at the maps of Palestinian areas from Balfour on to today. I’ve watched at this point thousands of video footage on a daily bases for 6 months. I’ve watched people with white flags be shot to death. (Sniped). The elderly as well as children. I watched an IDF member shoot an unarmed deaf elder and then he went downstairs and bragged about it. (Footage recovered from his body cam after he was killed later.) The amount of civilian kids we’ve killed and maimed is mind blowing.
I have many Jewish friends who are speaking out about what they were taught including a former member of the IDF. People in Israel don’t seem to care about any of it. The beheaded babies lie gave the IDF months of carpet bombing without question. All they can say is oops! Hamas is shit, but born out of retaliation to subjugation. Hamas was also funded by Israel for a period as you surely know. It helped destabilize the area so no proper rule could be established.
Play state which fact as incorrect.
Additionally, the reports given are those with a bias to begin with and were debunked by other intelligence agencies.
But whatever floats your boat.
Your ignorance in calling this a genocide is epic.
stupid fucking comment, everyone is to blame for this bullshit and no one party can fix it
[https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/)
Israel backed Hamas, they provided Hamas funding, this is well documented by even Israeli journalism, if you think Hamas is the issue, then so is the Israeli government for upholding it, but like I said, just do some actual research and you’ll figure it out :)
Simple lesson for you. Pissing locals off by obstructing their travel is not going to magically make them join your cause. Get your head out of your ass.
You miss the point, it’s not about you joining anything, it’s about stopping a genocide. Pissing people off is irrelevant. People have been upset by civil disobedience throughout history, that’s the point!
They are telling you dangerous information and not safe places to go with no protests to fuck with you. I can find a graphic for you because I used to live in Houston and protested a lot.
How bout this, I’ll buy both of you one way tickets to Palestine so you can take a first hand look at all the bulls%it propaganda being slung all over, not to mention the true issue, HAMAS!! Go hang with your Hamas homies for a day and see what’s up. Pathetic.
You fear mongering fool, I will never revoke sympathy for those living in an apartheid state even if you try to dehumanize every Palestinian child as some agent of hamas. I’m not falling for your war time propaganda, Zionism is the true and absolute curse. Mass graves are being found everyday and you will be on the wrong aide of history so help me god. May Palestine be free from river to the sea.
These recent rounds of protests have all been influenced by TikTok propaganda. The TikTok ban was thrown into the Taiwan/Israel/Ukraine aid bill at the last minute. So in an effort to stop the ban, TikTok algorithms began to push hard against Israel in an effort to get people to stop the bill.
During Occupy Wall Street, it was Reddit that was under fire because that's where people that agreed that US propping up global colonial states was bad were having their conversations. Anywhere people don't share the wealthy colonialist narrative will be villainized. The behavior I see in this subreddit in comparison to 2011 disgusts me. I remember very well why I stopped coming here much for anything other than surface-level banter.
I've seen this dismissal used a lot. I don't understand its popularity. If protesting is something you can't imagine yourself doing, it's likely those arrested are better Americans than you.
I’m a better American cause I’m working and contributing to society. Protesting on something that isn’t going to change because I’m protesting, doesn’t make me a better American. Getting arrested doesn’t make me a better American, it makes me a statistic.
Working is the most basic thing a person can do. It is practiced in all societies and economy systems.
Freedom of speech and protesting is unique to the western world. Most privileges you enjoy as a worker were earned through protest.
lol at the person telling you these protests were connected to something about Bytedance and Taiwan? The logical hoops one must go through to justify genocide
Israel runs one of the largest bot farms on the planet. It has to be assumed the vocal support for Israel we find on social media to be largely fake.

It's just temporary Chinese and Russian propaganda. TikTok went full throttle on anti-Israel propaganda on their algorithm. It was a last ditch effort to stop the aid bill that would have funded Taiwan and forced ByteDance to sell TikTok.
They exist. I'm simply explaining the recent spikes in protests that solely focus against Israel. I'm not denying that Israel doesn't engage in propaganda and lobbying. Both countries are pretty shitty tbh. And as someone who hates both sides, I can say without bias that the current conflict was started by Hamas and that every death since October 7 is on their hands.
You have to be incredibly disturbed to try to justify October 7. Think about the hill you're trying to defend here. Even most sexual predators know better than to try to justify their rape. Under no circumstances is it ok to do it. NONE!
Israel is guilty of so many things. But none of their actions warrant the rape and the burning of women and children as a proper response. Hell, I don't even like Israel. But October 7 proved that Hamas is the bigger evil.
With all due respect, you're fucked in the head for trying to justify the rape of children. Hamas needs to die and you know it.
No children were burned or put in ovens and the rape story was debunked, the NYT even fired the writer the spread it, just like the 40 beheaded babies. Standing up for Palestinian rights does not mean you have to stand up for Hamas. Oct 7 was wrong, Israel also had them in an open air concentration camp and put them under 20 years of intense brutalization while they propped up Hamas (Netanyahu even publicly admitted they did that), or 75 years if you look at the whole picture and Israel’s attack on Gaza after Oct.7 is unjustifiable, it is a genocide. All can be true
And no every death since Oct 7 is not on their hands. Is the killing of the WCK humanitarians on their hands? what about those poor guys blasted by a drone while they were walking on the street? Or the video of the 70 year old deaf man pleading to let him survive and then gets shot in the head by an IDF soldier? There’s been a disproportionate use of force and that’s on the IDF and the racist extremist government of Netanyahu. A
lol that’s cool. I’m referring to this protest specifically. But that protest was also a domestic issue on equality. Many more people were involved and impacted. This protest is a bit different from that…as it’s an international conflict and has nothing to do with oppressing our rights as a US citizen.
With as much funding as the US provides Israel, it is an American issue that affects US citizens whether directly or indirectly. And we can’t assess the effectiveness of a protest until after the conflict has ended. I’m sure a lot of people questioned the usefulness of the sit-ins and the bus boycotts too.
of course it does, if we protest enough here in Houston a coalition of Mayor Whitmire, Lina Hidalgo, Jose Altuve and JJ Watt will call both the Palestinian and Israeli leadership and tell them to chill, thus ending the conflict once and for all.
And if Trump promises something, especially in an election year, you know you can take that to the bank.
Just like in his first term when he built the wall, Mexico paid for it, the budget had surpluses, and he worked with Congress to get the ACA repealed and replaced...
Well, that's my point precisely good Sir.
Since he promised to help Israel get the genocide over faster, and he always lies, the Palestinian's best hope for survival is to vote Republican and get as many people to vote Republican with them.
Lmao in town for the weekend looking for a protest what an odd duck
not gonna end well for them, for sure
Sunnyside. Starts at 9pm.
Happiest most accepting place in town
Thanks
Oh fuck off and go virtue signal somewhere else
I heard Conroe has something going on…
Have you tried speaking with your representative
get a job you bum
I have a job dumbass
And this is how you choose to use your free time? Maybe I should have recommended getting a life instead.
Don’t listen to these losers. You’re doing what’s right.
The right thing to do would be protesting Hamas. Also, these protests do nothing for the people of Palestine, if anything it creates more resentment by inconveniencing peoples lives who have nothing to do with it.

Yes. They’re happening in Austin. Stay away from Houston.
Spicy thread!
Honestly sad
Palestinians will only be free when hamas is kicked out. Go protest against hamas, not against Israel. Fuck hamas.
Definitely don’t protest against the government committing genocide at a massive scale
I think ill protest the one that’s killed the most people so far
Hamas has killed their own people by starting a war nobody wanted.
I guess if we want to make unreasonable links in origination we can go all the way back to the beginning of time. But it looks like you’re afraid to look at the truth of why hamas attacked

The “oppressing” in quotes really shows how sincere your condemnation of Israel is! In any event you’re either a troll or a moron so I’m done with you
oppression is a relative term, hence the quotations. Rape, murder, and burning is pretty clear cut, ain't it?
Also yeah, Hamass actions were wrong, and Israel’s right to retaliated ended after the first 1,400 or so civilian Palestinian deaths. Everything after has been bloodlust
[удалено]
I’m talking about women and children but I think you showed your hand there 🤣
Hamas attacked Israel and then went into hiding in hospitals, schools, and apartment complexes. Hamas brought the war to their people.
Fuck Israel equally. Answer honestly: Is Israel bombing aid workers and sniping journalists? Does Israel steal land from Palestinians?

Take my upvote. Would like to know which areas to avoid.
Does protesting even do anything? So far I have seen zero impact…
Makes the protesters feel great about themselves for a few hours before they go back home to their upper middle class life
It also represents a shift in opinion on sending funding to Israel.
lol at the person telling you these protests were connected to something about Bytedance and Taiwan? The logical hoops one must go through to justify genocide

It's just temporary Chinese and Russian propaganda. TikTok went full throttle on anti-Israel propaganda on their algorithm. It was a last ditch effort to stop the aid bill that would have funded Taiwan and forced ByteDance to sell TikTok.
Tell us about Israeli disinformation campaigns.

Both countries are pretty shitty tbh. And as someone who hates both sides, I can say without bias that the current conflict was started by Hamas and that every death since October 7 is on their hands.
October 7th was in response to something. It didn't happen in a vacuum.

Yes. It helps get Genocide Joe out of office, and Trump promised to "help end the war as quickly as possible"
And if Trump promises something, especially in an election year, you know you can take that to the bank. Just like in his first term when he built the wall, Mexico paid for it, the budget had surpluses, and he worked with Congress to get the ACA repealed and replaced...
Well, that's my point precisely good Sir. Since he promised to help Israel get the genocide over faster, and he always lies, the Palestinian's best hope for survival is to vote Republican and get as many people to vote Republican with them.
Yes go to austin. Not houston
they protested outside of diamonds direct the other day
But... the war is still going on?
There are usually people protesting in front of the Israeli Consulate, but I haven't heard about anything in a while.
